PEMA LEVY 5:11 PM EDT, MONDAY APRIL 22, 2013
Former Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) argued Monday for racial profiling of "young Muslim men" in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings, including adding profiling to the United States' immigration process.
"We're at war, and this country got a stark reminder last week again that we're at war," Walsh said to host Martin Bashir during an appearance on MSNBC. "And not only should we take a pause, Martin, when it comes to immigration, we need to begin profiling who our enemy is in this war: young muslim men,"
"The fact is, Martin, neither you or I or Jonathan knows of the 11 million, and it's more than 11 million, how many are bad characters," Walsh continued, addressing Bashir and fellow guest, columnist Jonathan Alter. "And what we're going to do is replicate what we did in '86, provide amnesty to all of them, which in essence is providing legal status to a lot of bad characters. You know, Martin, there's also a piece of this legislation that bans our law enforcement officials of profiling. We need to profile even when it comes to our immigration policy. These two guys weren't just losers. They were part of radical islam. They were radicalized," Walsh said of the alleged Boston Marathon bombers.

So according to this guy....we CAN eliminate some bad characters and that makes us safer...but somehow regulating some guns...will NOT make us safer....
